Thaddeus Velk, paint phase #1

Next up - and already well on the way - Hieronimus Hector Velk. 2 hours so far.

Edit: Unsure about the name... Hieronimus connotates too much artist or cronicle writer to me. Hector has a harder pronounciation and a sharper edge to it. Had to do a list of names to work out what to use instead of Hieronimus. Hector, Franz, Hannibal, Hugo, Ignatus, Matthias. Speaking of names - both Gregor Eisenhorn and Titus Endor are such cool names.

Anthor editing of the name. From Hector to Thaddeus. More subtle and mysterious.

Hector seems bookish and polite to me: mannered and noble rather than deranged. Biblically, Thaddeus is interesting as he's a shadowy, mysterious figure, often conflated with or confused for others, he may never have existed, if he did he disrupts the idea of there being twelve apostles, he may be the brother of Jesus, he may be Judas. Sounds Inquisitorial to me. I like it :)

ABOUT

I work a lot with the same models, moods, even the same bits. Miniatures and bits in particular are part of my 3D language. Sculpting and painting adds more signs to the work or TEXT as some might call it.

This is a place for me to share and discuss modelling and miniature painting projects. My own projects as well as miniatures and works/texts from where I find inspiration.
